“When I came to CA, I learned the ability to feel happiness. Creating a club at school and working hard with the classmates on the activities in the club left me with the best memories, making me more enthusiastic and more confident. In high school, you must develop good learning habits, such as decomposition of tasks, do regular review, and other efficient learning methods, in order to ensure good results and energy to achieve good results in volunteers, clubs, and various competitions.”

“Listen to your school counselor and take IELTS earlier. Listen carefully in class and complete the homework on time. CA is a great group for meeting different friends and understanding areas that you have never been involved in. In this environment, I feel a completely different kind of love. This memory in CA will be the motivation behind me, and I will work harder to become excellent. As the planning teacher said, “There are no students who can’t get accepted to universities, only students who don’t work hard!”

“You must study hard, and each grade in grades 10, 11, and 12 should get a high score! Participate in extracurricular activities as much as possible while ensuring academic performance, and participate in as many school activities as possible: volunteers, clubs, etc. IELTS test as soon as possible! After I came to CA, I became more self-reliant, and at the same time, I constantly looked at myself to strengthen my deficiencies, and found that there are too many things in the world waiting for me to learn. I have grown a lot in the past two years in CA. Through the experience of the student council, I have learned a lot of things and gained a lot of new insights. I have also trained my communication skills, organizational skills, and teamwork skills. Through many volunteer activities, I became more willing to give back to society. Thank you very much for the teachers and classmates who took care of me in the past two years.”

“Read more books, read more newspapers, play less games and sleep more. I learned the importance of collective honour, because CA is a warm family, which makes me feel warm. I am very lucky that I spent my two years in high school in the family of CA. In CA, I learned to find ways to solve problems and recognize the importance of teamwork. Every class in CA is full of vitality, and I completed my high school life step by step in an atmosphere of happiness.”

“I feel very lucky that i came to CA! Before coming here, I never thought that I could be admitted to a famous school. The environment of CA changed me. When I don’t work hard enough, I always think maybe I will try again. I can do it too, and finally I really like going to school Communicate more with the teacher, don’t miss the class! Submit work on time! Start preparing early! Like our CA teachers. Everyone in CA always helps each other, and I am really reluctant to graduate.”

“I learned a lot in CA, such as learning to organize a lot of volunteer activities, participating in various clubs, and many heart-warming festivals. I am also very active in participating in various activities in the school, which are very interesting, and it narrow the distance between classmates and me, and it is a very good chance for us to help each other and cooperate together. After coming to CA, I felt that I became more enthusiastic about learning and more willing to participate in various activities and clubs.”
